{{nihongo|'''Tentsuyu'''|てんつゆ/天汁|lead=yes}} is Japanese [[tempura]] [[Dip (food)|dip]]. 

The recipe for tentsuyu depends on the seasons and on the ingredients for which tentsuyu is being prepared. A general, all-purpose, tentsuyu might consist of three parts [[dashi]], one part [[mirin]], and one part [[soy sauce]]. For ingredients with strong odors or flavors, however, [[sake]] and sugar might be used instead of mirin, or more or less shōyu might be used.

Similar ingredients make up the simmering sauce for [[donburi]] and the broth for dishes like ''[[agedashi tofu]]'' (deep-fried tofu in broth) and [[soba]] (buckwheat noodles).

Tentsuyu in concentrated form is commonly sold in a small bottles in supermarkets and grocery stores throughout Japan&mdash;and also in Asian grocery stores in the US. 

When used for tempura, tentsuyu is commonly served with grated [[daikon|daikon white radish]].
